Budapest Highlights and Christmas Delights

Discover the heart of Budapest while walking through the city’s most iconic boulevard and squares. Starting at Heroes’ Square, you’ll get a vivid picture of Hungary’s colorful history — from the conquering chieftains to modern times. We’ll stroll through the City Park, pass elegant villas and palaces along Andrássy Avenue, and admire the Opera House’s beauty. The tour continues to St. Stephen’s Basilica, where festive lights guide us to the magical Christmas Market. Warm up with a tea or coffee and a delicious Hungarian cake — and if you wish, we can stop for a crispy lángos, the locals’ favorite street food. Enjoy the charm of Budapest in its most enchanting season and let history, flavors, and lights make this walk unforgettable. I you wish to, we can enter the Saint Stephen Basilica and watch the stunning panorama from the top (my favourite one in the city). Entrance ticket is 4500 HUF (appr. 13 USD) / person. Walking distance: approx. 3 km / 1.8 mile.
